Customer Question

hello - i wonder if you could shed some light on a problem for me (i am a non-technical owner of a 1998 Jag XJ8).i was getting a "battery not charging" message on the dash and the shop advised i get a new battery. ok, makes sense. after two hours working on the car they report to me that the Fuel Pump is not working and requires replacement ($700).my question is whether it is reasonable that a fuel pump would quit just while they were installing a new battery when i had no problems or symptoms before bringing it into the shop. is there something they might have done to cause the Fuel Pump failure?any info appreciated.

That is strange as replacing the battery should not effect the fuel pump. I have seen these pumps fail with no warning so it is a possibility. I think they should re check the fuse and relay for it before replacing it. Also we need to make sure that is the reason why it is not starting.
